Item 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
As we are preparing our past quarterly and annual reports to become
current, the Company wishes to update and disclose its current
corporate and financing activities.
On July 19, 2020, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary
in Israel, Hachevra Legiduley Pkaot Beisrael Ltd. (the “New
Subsidiary”), to develop a fully automated and remotely managed
system for growing saffron and other vegetables. On November 5,
2020, the New Subsidiary changed its name to Saffron-Tech Ltd. (or
“Saffron Tech”).
The Company, through Saffron Tech, plans to roll out its proof
of concept in the coming months. This technology will provide
turnkey automated growing containers for high-quality, high-yield
saffron all year round. The Company is in advanced stages
of developing and testing a fully automated and remotely managed
system for growing high-quality, high-yield saffron anywhere and
anytime.
The Company’s technology offers a controlled environment based on
the Company’s deep knowledge in plant biology. The technology
provides optimal conditions for each stage of the plant’s
development to reach optimal product quality.
The Company’s proof of concept utilizes the “Grow Next to Consumer”
policy and is therefore sustainable and fit the COVID-19
restrictions on transport. It is also environmentally friendly,
using economic levels of water, space, fertilizer, and energy.
Accounting to the Company’s calculations, we believe that the
controlled indoor growing area will produce ten times more yield
compared to the same land area using traditional methods. The
sealed environment eliminates the need for harmful pesticides and
herbicides, producing a clean and safe product that is easy to
control from anywhere. The Company’s solution is easily scalable
and pre-designed to quickly grow operations.
Saffron is used in many industries, such as the food industry,
particularly by famous chefs and Michelin starred restaurants, the
natural cosmetics industry and the natural medicine industry and as
a dye in the textile industry. Medicinal claims as an
anti-depressant, antioxidant, and antiseptic are constantly
increasing.
The global saffron market size was valued at USD 1
Billion in 2019 and is anticipated to attain a revenue based
CAGR of 7.3% from 2020 to 2027. The market is expected to grow over
the next few years on account of demand from the pharmaceutical
sector, particularly in countries with rapid population
expansion.
Since the incorporation Saffron Tech, Saffron Tech has hired one
employee and several consultants to commence the roll out of our
proof of concept. Saffron Tech has signed several agreements with
Israeli companies, including Growin Ltd (“Growin”) and the Israeli
Ministry of Agricultures research organization – The Volcani Center
(“Volcani”). Growin is an owner of proprietary systems for indoor
agriculture and Saffron Tech has acquired the exclusive right to
market, sell and commercialize our product based on the Growin’s
hydroponic machines. Volcani will assist Saffron Tech in writing
the protocols required to grow saffron in a controlled and
automated way, including the use of robotics and AI.
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
During November and December 2020, the Company continued to raise
funds to support its operations and received $775,000 from third
party investors and convertible promissory notes in respect thereof
(“Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes bear no interest, are
convertible into shares of the Company based on a fixed conversion
price of $0.10 per share and mature between 12 and 24 months from
the issuance date.
CROWD FUNDING:
On December 24, 2020, Saffron Tech, the Company’s subsidiary,
announced its intention to raise up to 5 million New Israeli
Shekels (“NIS”) (approximately $1.6 million) at a pre-money
valuation of NIS 20 million (approximately $6.225 million) through
the Israeli crowd funding platform – Pipelbiz. Assuming the maximum
amount is raised, the Company will own approximately 80% of the
Saffron Tech.
Management will disclose relevant information as we progress in our
activities and bring the Company current in its filings.
